Collateralized loans are financial agreements where a borrower pledges an asset as security for a loan. If the borrower defaults, the lender can seize the collateral to recoup their losses. In the digital asset realm, this often involves using cryptocurrencies as collateral to borrow other digital assets or fiat currency.
